Holden is viewed as a cut off, insubordinate teenager who failed out of an all-boys exclusive school, Pencey Prep. Flunking…

Freudian theory suggests that the unconscious mind controls more of one’s actions and behaviors than most people suspect, that it plays a bigger part in people’s everyday lives than most people notice. Consequently the psychodynamic perspective in psychology focuses on and analyzes the human behaviors that are caused by underlying feelings or emotions and the unconscious processing that goes on behind the scenes. Using this foundation, the…

The foundation of Freud’s theory lies on the idea that dreaming allows people to fulfill the desires that they are not able to express in the real world. Dreams permits the unconscious mind to play these objectionable thoughts and desires that constitutes to our repressed behavior.

Dreams are an occurrence in which anything can happen. They can be nonsensical, chaotic, and the world portrayed can be completely transformed. Dreams are something that happens to the unconscious mind, and they are uncontrollable. Dreams portray a world in which the predictable is nonexistent and when it’s over, reality and confusion sets in. In the play, Shakespeare uses “dream” to describe the world of a young person who is infatuated or madly in love; it is ineffable, their world is…

One from an evolutionary point of view proposes that sleep was a way that animals…
presents a stinging defense of Sigmund Freud. As the footnote by Aniela Jaffe explains, “In his obituary on Freud (1939), Jung calls this work ‘epoch-making’ and ‘probably the boldest attempt that has ever been made to master the riddles of the unconscious psyche upon the apparently firm ground of empiricism. For us, then young psychiatrists, it was…a source of illumination, while for our older colleagues it was an object of mockery’” (p. 147, fn. 2). These words of praise should not be taken…
According to the Jung Typology Test, I have the personality type "INTJ". This indicates that I am mostly an introverted, thinking, and judging personality. While I consider these characteristics to be natural tendencies that I have, it is important for me to remember to avoid using labels as excuses for who I am in the flesh.
